In the US state of Washington, 3 people were killed and 6 wounded in a shooting attack at a hookah shop.

According to the police statement, a shooting attack took place at a hookah shop in the Mount Baker neighborhood of Seattle early in the morning. Two men, ages 22 and 33, who were shot in the attack, were reported to have died at the scene, and a 30-year-old woman died at the hospital where she was taken.

Police said one of the six injured, ranging in age from 21 to 38, is in critical condition and the others are doing well. Noting that 5 weapons were found at the scene, police did not provide information on possible suspects in the attack.
